He looked to be deep in thought as if contemplating an investment worth millions.

As soon as Ariana hung up the phone, she began to regret it. In a trance, she stood in the corner.

Her mind was racing, and she was contemplating calling him back.

But she flinched at the thought of Theodore's cold voice. He was busy, and she shouldn't disturb him anymore. Besides, he might not be willing to help her.

It was getting dark and the bitter wind made Ariana feel even colder.

After flipping through her contact list, she found that no one could help her except for Theodore.

She was at a loss. Just then, a message popped up on her screen.

It was a question mark.

Only then did she realize she hadn't replied to Holden's message yet.

She clicked on the message, and replied hastily, "Sorry, I have something to deal with. Talk to you later."

Within a second, Holden replied, "Is it about Sarah? I just saw the news."

Ariana wasn't surprised that Holden would pay attention to it.

The news was all over the Internet.

Without thinking too much, she quickly typed her reply.

"Yes, Sarah's child is missing."

“Let me help you," came his reply.

She sent three question marks in reply. She was so surprised.

Ariana had never thought of asking Holden for help. Being friends was one thing, but she didn't want there to be any misunderstanding.

She had to avoid any suspicion.

“Are you serious? Is there anything you want in return for helping me?"
